The  Sons  of  David  Munro  Binning,  Esq.  by  Raeburn 


SHORT  LIFE  OF  SIR  HENRY  RAEBURN,  R.A. 

(1756—1823.) 

HIS  distinguished  portrait  painter 
was  born  in  Stockbridge,  a suburb 
of  Edinburgh,  on  the  4th  of  March, 
1756. 

Left  an  orphan  at  the  age  of 
six,  he  went  to  school  in  a Scotch 
educational  establishment — Heriot’s 
Hospital.  When  he  was  fifteen  he  was  apprenticed 
to  a goldsmith  named  Gilliland,  who  discovering  the 
boy’s  taste  for  drawing,  kindly  encouraged  his 
youthful  efforts,  and  introduced  him  to  a portrait 
painter  named  David  Martin,  then  of  some  local 
repute  in  Edinburgh. 

Later  on  Raeburn  pursued  his  studies  alone, 
and  having  married  a woman  of  means  at  the  age 
of  twenty-two,  went  to  London,  where  he  met  Sir 
Joshua  Reynolds,  who  advised  him  to  go  to  Italy 
and  study  the  works  of  Michel  Angelo.  Raeburn 
remained  there  with  his  wife  for  two  years,  then 
returned  to  Scotland  and  soon  established  himself 
as  a portrait  painter  in  Edinburgh.  In  1795  he  built 
a large  and  handsome  studio  in  York  Place,  and 
there  he  painted  the  portraits  of  the  eminent  group 
of  Scotsmen  who  adorned  literature  and  law  in 
Edinburgh  at  that  period,  as  well  as  those  of  many 


noblemen,  ladies  and  gentlemen  throughout  Scot- 
land. 

In  1814  he  became  an  associate  of  the  Royal 
Academy,  and  in  1815  became  a Royal  Academician. 

He  was  also  a member  of  the  Academies  of 
Florence,  South  Carolina  and  New  York. 

In  1822,  on  the  occasion  of  George  the  IV’s 
visit  to  Scotland,  Raeburn  was  knighted,  and  shortly 
afterwards  was  appointed  “His  Majesty’s  Limner’’ 
in  that  part  of  Great  Britain. 

He  did  not  long  enjoy  these  marks  of  favor,  for 
his  death  occurred  in  1823. 

The  greatest  collection  of  Raeburn’s  works  in 
a public  gallery  is  to  be  found  in  the  National  Gal- 
lery of  Scotland  in  Edinburgh. 

During  the  last  few  years  some  of  his  finest  pic- 
tures have  come  to  America.  These  portraits,  broad 
and  effective  in  their  treatment,  real  and  harmonious 
in  color,  masterly  in  execution,  and  of  great  style, 
are  to  be  ranked  with  the  finest  efforts  of  his  time.
